Bathroom remodeling in Chestnut Hill,scheduled around the stone.
Chestnut Hill is a village that sits across Newton, Brookline and Boston around Boylston Street and the reservoir, and the bathrooms match the houses: primary suites at spa scale, with double vanities, freestanding tubs, curbless glass showers, heated floors and stone that gets specified before anything else.

What a Chestnut Hill bathroom throws at a crew.
At this level the schedule is set by materials, not by labour. Slab has to be selected and fabricated. Shower glass is templated on site after the tile is grouted, then made. Specialty fixtures have their own lead times. A crew that demos before those clocks are running is a crew that leaves you with a stripped room and a shrug.
So we do it the other way around: selections and lead times first, then a calendar built backwards from the longest one. Every day of the build is accounted for, and the day the glass goes in is on the schedule before the first tile is cut.
- Slab and long-lead materials
- Selected and fabricated on a known clock. Demo is scheduled against delivery, never against hope.
- Heated floors
- Mat or cable set in the mortar bed with the thermostat and the circuit planned during the electrical rough, not after tile.
- Frameless glass
- Templated after grout, fabricated, then installed. We put that gap on the calendar up front instead of at the end.
What we run into here
What it costs you in days
Seven working days in Chestnut Hill.
The sequence doesn't change from town to town — only what we find behind the plaster does.
- 01Day 1
Protection and demo
Dust wall up, room stripped to the studs, debris out the same day. This is also when surprises surface, and when we tell you about them.
- 02Day 2
Rough plumbing and electrical
New drain and supply, valve set, GFCI and lighting, fan ducted outside. Permits pulled with your town and inspections scheduled by us.
- 03Day 3
Waterproofing
Mortar bed, membrane, banded corners, flood test. This is the day that decides whether the ceiling below stays dry for twenty years.
- 04Day 4
Tile and grout
Dry layout first so the cuts are deliberate. Then wall, floor, niche, grout, and silicone at every corner and change of plane.
- 05Day 5
Vanity, fixtures and trim
Everything you actually touch goes in: vanity, top, faucet, toilet, mirror, lighting, hardware, door and trim.
- 06Day 6
Walk-through and sign-off
We walk the room with you, write the punch list, finish it, and clean the space before we invoice.

on Angi
“I hired 7 Days Remodel & Contracting to replace my deck and repair the front porch. I also needed new kitchen and bathroom flooring and tile on the kitchen counter and upstairs bathroom. Al and his team were extremely professional and multitasked to complete interior and exterior while I was away on military orders. Pleasantly surprised and extremely satisfied with the outcome and highly recommend them — Al communicated consistently throughout the process and completed the work as discussed prior to my return and on budget.”
“Al did a great job on our renovation of our three-unit apartment building. He showed up, his team showed up, and everyone was skilled, delivering a great result.”

“The job was done in a timeframe that was shorter than projected. Their team was very professional and did a great job cleaning up behind themselves.”

Straight answers
Bathroom questions we get in Chestnut Hill.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
A standard full bath runs about seven working days on site, plus the shower glass, which is templated after the tile is grouted and installed when the fabricator delivers. Layout changes, custom tile patterns and long-lead vanities push that out — and we put the real number in your written proposal instead of the optimistic one.
Can we still use the bathroom while you work?
Not the one we're building. If it's your only full bath, tell us at the estimate — we sequence the toilet back in as early as the work allows and we'll tell you honestly which nights you'll want a plan B.
Do you pull the permits?
Yes. Plumbing and electrical permits are pulled with your town's building department and we schedule the inspections. You don't chase paperwork.
What does a bathroom remodel cost?
It depends on the size of the room, whether the layout moves, and what you pick for tile, vanity, fixtures and glass. We don't quote bathrooms over the phone. The on-site estimate is free, takes about thirty minutes, and produces a written itemized price within 48 hours.
Can you convert a tub into a walk-in shower?
Yes, and it's one of the most common jobs we do in older Greater Boston homes. It usually means a new pan and drain location, a proper sloped mortar bed and membrane, and a decision about whether to keep a curb or go curbless — which depends on your joists. We look at that at the estimate.
Do you do small bathrooms and powder rooms?
Yes. A 5×7 second-floor bath in a 1920s two-family is our bread and butter, and a powder room is a short job we're happy to schedule.
What about asbestos or lead paint?
We don't do asbestos abatement or de-leading — those need a licensed specialist and we'll refer you to one. If we find something behind the wall during demo, we stop, tell you, and don't disturb it.
Who is actually in my house?
Our own vetted, certified crew. Same faces from demo day to the final walk-through, and you have Alessandro's number the entire time.
